What you'll learn
PHP is the most widely used server language on the web. This course, PHP: Getting Started, will help you get started with the language in no time by covering topics such as, installing a web server, PHP, and the MySQL database server. First, you will learn how to process form data and later store everything in a MySQL database. Next, you will discover how to take special care when dealing with common security-related pitfalls and how to avoid common attacks. Finally, you will gain an understanding of how to develop a small sample application, which also features authentication and authorization. By the end of this course, you will know your way around PHP, however, you will not be provided a complete introduction into the language syntax, so knowledge of any programming language is beneficial.
